I have a suspicion that water is leaking on the copper tube bushing for the cooling tube.. first run of a boat this year and I have a small trickle of water into the bilge - engine running or not. just pulled the whole outdrive and no obvious leaking on usual parts.

I see moisture on the very top of the inside of the gimbal suggesting that is where it was coming from - the copper tube seems looser then I would like it to be.

I cant find any google or forum history suggesting this is a possible thing others have experienced.. what say you did I find my leak?

I haven't seen water leaking specifically yet and the leak has evidence is coming above the drive shaft. I can hear water trickling when in the water engine off.
